The Olympics may be about the athletes, but Flavor Flav deserves special recognition for his incredible acts of kindness during the event.
For anyone who watched the event, you know that Flav was in attendance — and people can't stop talking about a lot of his viral moments. Here are nine of them:
1. He sponsored the USA's Women's Water Polo team.
2. He made Jordan Chiles a bronze clock after she was stripped of her Olympic bronze medal.

3. He helped discus thrower Veronica Fraley after she said she was struggling to pay rent ahead of her Olympic debut.

— FLAVOR FLAV (@FlavorFlav) August 1, 2024"I compete in the Olympic Games TOMORROW and can't even pay my rent," Veronica said on X at the time. "My school only sent about 75% of my rent while they pay football players (who haven't won anything 😂) enough to buy new cars and houses 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾."
"I gotchu," Flav replied. "DM me and I'll send payment TODAY so you don't have to worry bout it TOMORROW,,, and imma be rooting for ya tomorrow LETZ GO,!!!"
Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian also chimed in and said he'd gladly split the rent with Flav.
4. He helped send the family of Little Rock Paralympic swimmer Olivia Chambers to Paris.
5. Flav did the same for the family of Paralympic swimmer Nick Mayhugh.
The fundraiser met its goal within a day of Flav sharing it on his page.
"WOOWWW,!!! Y'all we did it,!!!" Flav tweeted. "FULLY FUNDED within a day. This is the power of unity and community. Y'all helping make some dreams come true,!!!"
6. He had the purest reaction to meeting gymnast Frederick "Flips" Richard after he won bronze with the U.S. men's gymnastics team.
“Look at you!" Flav exclaimed. "Look at this! You go, boy!”
7. He shared the most supportive tweet after the women's water polo team's "heartbreaking loss" to Australia prevented them from earning a fourth consecutive gold medal.
Heartbreaking loss in double over time for my Water Polo girls,,, they will play for the bronze medal on Saturday. Imma so proud of all these women.

Flav said, "YEP ,!!! cuz I been donating my money during the Olympics to those in need,,, that might make ya boy a poor man in the pockets,,, but a rich man in the heart,!!!"
